I am converting a legacy codebase to python3 and do some dry runs of 2to3. 2to3 removes the u'' prefix from unicode literals creating a lot of noise in the diffs. Is there a way to disable this (as u'my string' is valid py3 syntax)?
From the help:
2to3 --help
...
-x NOFIX, --nofix=NOFIX
Prevent a transformation from being run
-l, --list-fixes List available transformations
...
With --list-fixes, we find the transformation to ignore, unicode.
Result: 2to3 --nofix=unicode.
